SDB Lakdaru Scholarship Seminar Series 2016

SDB has organised an island wide Lakdaru Scholarship Seminar Series for grade 5 students. This will be carried out as a CSR project and a few of the seminars will be in Tamil medium too. The ninth seminar of the series was held on 7 May at Nuwara Eliya Cinecita Town Hall in Central Province. In parallel to the Scholarship Seminar Series, there’s a separate seminar for parents regarding skills and attitudes of children and child philosophy. 

During the seminar, there is an opportunity to open Lakdaru accounts. Special features of the Lakdaru account include attractive gift schemes and a free hospitalisation cover.

Gift schemes are very popular among children with offers based on savings slab. One of the attractive gifts is the world map which is enriched with a bundle of information about the world in a very simple format. This is in high demand among children as well as their parents. 

Moreover, SDB Lakdaru offers an attractive 1% additional rate of interest than normal savings.

Free hospitalisation cover up to Rs. 50,000 is popular especially among parents as it assists in taking care of their children’s health.

Similarly, SDB offers up to Rs. 50,000 worth of cash rewards for children who qualify with higher marks on their educational exams – grade 5 scholarships exam, O/L and A/L examinations.

The next seminar of the program series was held in North Western Province on 14 May at Sudasuna Hall, Chilaw.
